I'm confused; I thought you said you were on Broadway, but you're Off-Broadway? What do you mean?
Broadway and Off-Broadway are differentiated primarily by the number of seats in the theater. Broadway theaters must seat at least 500 people, whereas Off-Broadway theaters seat less than 500 and more than 99 (100-499). The Snapple Theater Center is unique in that it is an Off-Broadway theater, physically located on the street of Broadway.
